Li Liang returned to the Palace of the Imperial Master, surrounded by friends such as Li Si. When he saw Wu Tingfang and Tian sisters who were left behind to take care of the children, he felt deeply excited and ecstatic. . Daughter Li Sisi is two or three years old and looks healthier than the average child. She hadn't seen Li Liang for a long time and didn't recognize her life. With her innocent and lively personality, she pestered Li Liang with questions and kept talking, which made his father feel very happy. As a result, Teng Baoer stood there helplessly watching his sister take over his adoptive father. Seeing that the tears in his eyes were about to fall, Li Liang freed up one hand to hug him, and soon made him happy. Le, then asked him why he didn't come and asked his adoptive father to hug him. He answered like a young adult. It turns out that although the little guy has just turned five years old, he is still giving in to his sister very sensibly. As a result, his biological father Teng Yi, who had been forgotten by him, couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He laughed and scolded: "These days, my biological father is really not as good as my godfather." Dad said it out loud. Baoer looked at his "biological father" Tengyi very sensibly, and reached out for him to hug him, which was full of comfort. It made everyone laugh. The little guy didn't quite understand what the adults were laughing at, but he saw two dads laughing so hard that tears flowed out, and a group of mothers laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight. So he was stunned for a moment, and then started to giggle. This time, the adults laughed even more. The other little guys have just learned to walk and are learning to talk. It was freezing cold, so the girls kept hugging them. They were also influenced by Brother Baoer, who often played with them, and they laughed and clapped their hands. Children's voices were mixed in with the laughter of everyone, full of harmonious notes of childlike fun and happiness. After Wu Yingyuan led his family to pay homage to their ancestors, he followed his grandson to pay homage to the Imperial Master's Palace. That night there was a bigger banquet, with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was so lively. When the wine was full of wine, Chang Wenjun, who was sitting across from him, smiled and said: "The invincible Li Mu is not invincible after all. After the Battle of Handan, let's see what else the six eastern countries can use to suppress me, the Qin Dynasty?" Ji Yanran, Qin Qing and others At this time, he led the female family members to toast Li Liang, Teng Yi, Jing Jun and other generals who had returned from the expedition. Li Liang and others hurriedly returned the salute. Wu Guo, Zhou Wei and his wife, Zhou Liang and even the Eagle King were also there. Li Liang suggested that everyone toast to the Zhou brothers and sisters who had made outstanding contributions to the last black dragon and this march reconnaissance. Wu Guo was the first to boo, and everyone gathered around. The two siblings got down on the ground. Wu Guo was the funniest guy. He laughed and went back to the back room against Zhou Wei. The girls yelled and cursed in unison. All the men saw the virtue of this boy. Those who sprayed wine and those who slapped the table all burst out laughing. After a pause in laughter, Lu Dan'er, who had become Mrs. Jing Jun and had a daughter, asked: "Will the General stay in the Imperial Palace, or will he return to the pasture?" Li Si joked: "Is Mrs. Jing enough? Tai Shan has forgotten? Others may call him Grand Master or General, but you have to call him Brother Li or Uncle." While everyone laughed, Lu Dan'er took it out on Jing Jun and glared hard. He glanced at her and cursed in a low voice: "It's all your fault!" These words naturally made the whole room burst into laughter. The atmosphere was cheerful. After the banquet, everyone said goodbye and left. Li Liang summoned a group of cronies from the National Preceptor¡¯s Palace to gather in a secret room to discuss. As the clan leader, Qin Qing is usually very busy. At this moment, he has returned to Qin's house to handle many affairs of the Qin family. When Ji Yanran was away from Li Liang, all external affairs of the Imperial Palace were actually handled by her as a think tank. Therefore, she became the only female family member to participate. Tao Fang spoke first: "We will feel relieved when the Imperial Master comes back. I have met with Tu Xian many times and confirmed that Lu Buwei and Miao Du were pretending to be at odds on the surface, but in fact they were secretly colluding. With the support of the Queen Mother, His power expanded rapidly, and under Lu Buwei's instigation, Miao Du stayed in Yongdu for a long time. The palaces and gardens where he lived, the daily necessities, and the carriages and horses when going out were all the same as those of the monarch; all edicts that required the Queen Mother's seal were approved by him first. The pair of thieves had seen each other. "Ji Yanran nodded and said, "Due to the Queen Mother's relationship, Yongdu has actually fallen into Miao Du's hands. With Lu Buwei's acquiescence, he secretly organized his best friends and recruited a large number of dead soldiers from various countries to prepare. The incident occurred during the coronation ceremony of the Crown Prince in July. This matter is really a headache. " Li Liang said: "The Crown Prince has already deployed Mao Jiao, a powerful chess piece, in Miao Du's camp, so he clearly pointed out all the actions of Miao Du's traitors. He has secretly summoned Wang Jian back to the capital to prepare for a decisive battle with Miao Du. "Teng Yiju said in shock: "Now that the imperial master is here, why call Wang Jian back?" Li Liang remained silent, with a chill in his heart. . Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on him. Jing Jun said: "Since the prince is willing to tell brother Li this matter personally, he shouldn't askQuestion? " Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes flashed through a complex expression, and she sighed quietly and said: "Whenever the power of the throne is involved, father, son and brothers have no humane feelings. The biggest problem for a husband is to win the hearts of the people. This can be seen from the grand scene of people lining the streets to greet my husband when he comes back from this trip. "The happy blush on Wu Guo's face has not dissipated, but she turned and said angrily: "It can be said that my uncle earned and kept this world for him, how can he" Wu Yingyuan coughed dryly and interrupted him. : ¡°Stop talking this nonsense. Wu Guo, you are really unimproved. After what happened to Zhao Ren, you still have such naive thoughts. The national master is now equivalent to another Bai Qi. Think about how Bai Qi ended up! " Tao Fang also coughed dryly and said: "I don't know who made the rumor recently, saying that the prince is not the son of the previous king, nor the son of Lu Buwei, but was secretly brought back by the imperial master. Hey, these words are so ridiculous. " Teng Yi was shocked and said: "Do people who hear this rumor believe it? Tao Fang said sternly: "Except for those with ulterior motives, everyone in the Qin State firmly believes that the crown prince is the true king who inherits the destiny of heaven and accepts the virtue of water." What effect can mere rumors have? The problem is that the prince may feel uncomfortable after hearing it! Li Liang said: "These are the reasons why I asked everyone to come. The prince will be crowned and officially take charge of the power in another year. According to his character, we must prepare a way out from now on." It¡¯s just that I gave him the art of heart and arrows, but didn¡¯t guide him correctly. Let him become more ruthless and ruthless from the center of the attack between Lu Buwei and Lao Ai. The rumor you heard was actually that the origins of his adoptive parents were used by Lu Buwei and Lao Ai to attack him. He actually did it right" Teng Yi and others took a breath and said, "Oh my God! " Wu Guo's face turned pale and he murmured: "He actually killed himself" Li Liang paused and continued: "Fortunately, I made the decision many years ago to go far beyond the Great Wall and establish my own kingdom. Now it's finally time. In the final stage, except for Lu Buwei, we leave Qin immediately. This matter can be handled carefully by Teng Yi and Wu Zhuo outside the Great Wall. " Wu Yingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It turns out. The Imperial Guard has already made arrangements, and the half of the pasture outside the Great Wall that has been allocated is indeed fully managed by our Wu family, but the Qin Army who supervises it" Li Liang said lightly: "It doesn't matter. That place will immediately fall under my jurisdiction, and my reputation is too great this time. There are only two situations. One is to withdraw from the military and political affairs, which is what the people currently want. This is obviously impossible; the second is to transfer to the frontier. Downplay my influence in Daqin. This is also in line with the wishes of Lu Buwei, Lai Ai and the six southeastern countries. The most suitable one is definitely the wish of Ying Zheng. " "It just gives us the opportunity to leave. I have always taught Ying Zheng. How could he have thought that I had laid the groundwork when I let him seize the Wu family ranch? This is our chance to survive. The fate of our Li family, Qin family, and Wu family can no longer be determined by other people's likes and dislikes. Everything must be in our own hands. " Then after studying the details of the comprehensive evacuation, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. The next day, Li Liang, Teng Yi and Jing Jun got up before dawn and rushed to the morning court. When they arrived at the Yizheng Hall, they suddenly discovered that not only Lu Buwei was here, but Miao Du was also there. They also came from Yongdu. When they saw Li Liang, they all came over to congratulate him for his unparalleled military achievements. However, they all hesitated and looked strange. At this time, the bell rang, and everyone went to their own places. After arriving at Ying Zheng's high position on the Dragon Seat, Li Liang sat on the Imperial Preceptor's Seat, still distracted, thinking about the terrible news that Miao Du had just revealed to Ying Zheng. After killing Zhang Li and his wife, not even the neighbors were spared. It can be seen that Ying Zheng would do whatever it takes to keep the secret secret. Needless to say, the person who went to do this for him would have been executed long ago. Now in Ying Zheng's heart, only Zhao Qian knows. As for his true identity, Li Liang obviously knows the secret of his life experience. Will he ignore his kindness and simply silence him so that he can have nothing to worry about? Ying Zheng is indeed different now that he has gained a deeper understanding of human nature. On the dragon throne, he praised the ministers with contempt for the world. He defeated Li Mu and forced Zhao to cede the city. As the opening remarks of the early court, it was known that he had fully grasped the method of convincing people with his power as a monarch. Everyone discussed it, and Li Si and others turned the topic to the border dispute. Now the six countries were frightened by Li Liang. The frontier fortress is the most dangerous military and political event. Li Liang looked at Ying Zheng, who was watching him closely with a sparkle in his eyes, smiled and nodded to him, and said lightly: "I am willing to go, but it is only for the military headquarters of the frontier fortress. The issue of leadership is just like the previous deployment of troops to Zhongmu" Although Li Liang didn't finish speaking, everyone knew his request. Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with joy and he said resolutely: "Okay, it's great to have a general to share our worries. Then Wang Jian transferred him to another use, and the border fortress was left to the general to guard with full authority. It was only the general who made great achievements. , I will go to the frontier fortress. Is this inappropriate? "Li Liang didn't want to play the role of "benevolent minister" with him, so it was naturally inappropriate, so he volunteered to share the country's worries. Lu Buwei, Lao Ai and others looked at each other, grinning uncontrollably. They wished that the fierce Li Liang would disappear in the court. Therefore, everyone had no objection, and it was decided that Li Liang should be replaced by Wang Jian. Then Lu Buwei gave a lengthy report on his trip to Linzi. Halfway through, Ying Zheng waved his hand to interrupt his report, frowned and said: "What kind of person is Tian Jian? After he came to power, Tian Dan can still To maintain his power?" Lu Buwei's long speech was abruptly interrupted by Ying Zheng, a look of displeasure flashed across his face. He said in a deep voice: "Tian Jian and Tian Dan have nothing to worry about. The only thing to worry about is the alliance between Qi and Chu. Tian Jian can securely sit on the throne this time. The Chu people have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, so the old minister" Ying Zheng is a little uncomfortable. He patiently interrupted him and said: "Is Tian Jian an ambitious person, or is he just a coward who just wants to live in peace?" Li Li's conscience was greatly awe-inspiring. Ying Zheng has indeed changed. Become more practical and practical rather than empty talk. Just seeing these few words he asked gave people the feeling of hitting the target. Lu Buwei was stunned for a long time. He frowned and said: "This matter remains to be seen." Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Li Liang, his tone turned gentle and respectful, and he said softly: "General, can you help me solve this problem?" This is just like before, Li Liang It was a common sight for the national advisor to provide advice to the King of Qin and the Crown Prince in his empty duty. No one, including Lu Buwei, was surprised. Li Liangliang sighed secretly, as long as he said a few words, he could decide the fate of Qi people. But he had to answer, especially since his relationship with Ying Zheng was so delicate now. After taking a deep breath, he said calmly: "Tian Jian is actually the monarch of Qi State now. He is in charge of all affairs, so he naturally hopes to achieve something. Unfortunately, he is influenced by Qi State's always advocating empty talk, which has a negative impact on the country. He turned a blind eye to all the urgent problems and tried to make peace with me. He no longer had the ambition to unite the princes and unite the world. "Ying Zheng vigorously slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and sighed: "The general's words are enough. Where is the Taiwei? Li Si stepped forward, held the hut and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions!" " Ying Zheng said: "Immediately choose someone who can speak well for me, and then select a group of singers and dancers with excellent voices, colors, and arts, and send them to Linzi to Tian Jian to congratulate him on being crowned prince, and give him my congratulations. " Li Si accepted the order and returned to his throne. Chief Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Since Duke Huan. The people of Qi then competed with me, the Qin Dynasty, for the short and long term, but the three Jin, Chu, Yan, etc. did not join forces with me to fight against Qi. Just attack me together. This matter will have to be settled sooner or later, but it is time for us to pacify the three Jin and Chu people. Under the leadership of Wang Wan, all the ministers expressed their congratulations one after another. Lu Buwei and Miao Du had their faces as cold as ice and remained silent. Li Liangliang understood that Ying Zheng was showing the ministers who was really in power. At the same time, Lu Buwei deliberately wanted to speed up the rebellion. At this time, Lu Buwei suddenly gave Miao Du a look, and the latter made a secret gesture to Qian Zhi, who was more than ten people away. Qian Zhi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and kowtowed: "I have something to report to the Crown Prince. "He is a member of Miao Du. He was promoted from a lower level to become a doctor by the Empress Dowager Zhu Ji. The hall immediately became silent. Li Liang smiled and looked at the man who imitated him in calling him "my seat". Ying Zheng could not move. He said calmly: "Qian Qing, please tell me if you have anything to say! " Qian Zhi's lips trembled slightly before he said with sincerity and fear: "Recently, there have been many gossips and rumors in Xianyang, slandering the crown prince. After investigation, I found that these rumors confuse people and have a great influencefor this reason! I would like to ask the prince if you can appoint me to mediate this matter" Ying Zheng interrupted him coldly: "I don't know what rumors Doctor Qian heard. " The color on Qian Zhi's face immediately drained away, he fell to his knees, kowtowed heavily and said, "I dare not say anything. "Ying Zheng shouted angrily: "How can you help me deal with national affairs if you don't even dare to say a few words? " Seeing that the situation was not right, Miao Du pushed Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei was helpless and hated that Qian Zhi was useless. He coughed dryly and was about to speak when Ying Zheng shouted: "No one is allowed to intercede on behalf of a fool. Quickly put the rumors to the truth. ¡± Qian Zhi had knocked his head so hard that it bled, and said in a trembling voice: "It is said outside that the prince is not the former king I deserve death." Ying Zheng laughed and said, "So that's what happened." Then Long Yan said He said with a deep voice: "Rumors only stop at the wise. The six countries in the East are timid and deliberately spread rumors to slander me. But Qian Zhi, you actually regard the rumors as facts. What else can you say about affecting people's hearts?" Qian Zhi was so frightened that he peed and kowtowed. He shouted: "I have not mistakenly believed the rumors. I" Ying Zheng shouted violently: "I will push this slave out of the palace gate immediately and behead him. All the men in the clan will be sent to the border to serve as troops, and the women will serve as officials." "Prostitute." In the silence of all the ministers, Qian Zhi, who kept calling for mercy from the crown prince, was dragged out by Lord Chang Wen's wolf-like guards, leaving only a pool of blood in the center of the palace where his head had been smashed. Lu Buwei and Miao Du's faces were as ugly as they were. The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the palace, and no one could not tremble at the unfathomable power of Ying Zheng. In less than a year, Ying Zheng will be officially crowned the king of Qin. Who dares to make any offensive remarks at such a moment? Li Liang also looked a little unhappy. He felt like he never wanted to use the title "I" again. Ying's coup was too terrible. He obviously wanted to use this "my" doctor to beat Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, and Li Liang. Killing three birds with one stone! Ying Zheng has mastered the final level of the emperor's mental skills transformed by the art of arrows. The political wisdom he has mastered is more suitable for this era. It seems that the fate of his "First Emperor" is about to reach eternity. The protagonist of the era has taken the position. ¡° He put a lot of effort into this, but Li Liang definitely couldn¡¯t feel the gratification of his students becoming successful. Ying Zheng calmed down and said calmly: "Now that this nonsense rumor has finally spread to the palace, what do you think Father Zhong should do?" Lu Buwei also regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty said it well, rumors stop with the wise, as long as we If you ignore it, it will stop." Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, expressing his disapproval, and then asked everyone, "Do you have any good ideas?" Lord Changping came forward and said: "I think this is the case. It must be dealt with as soon as possible. Please send an edict from the crown prince to inform all the people. No one will be allowed to talk about this matter in private in the future. Anyone who violates the theory will be guilty of the whole clan, and those who report it will be heavily rewarded. The rumors will naturally be put to rest." Knowing that Ying Zheng had already had a tacit understanding with Li Si, Chang Pingjun and other powerful officials, they wanted to use thunderous and high-pressure measures to quell this turmoil. Ying Zheng said happily: "The words of the Qing family are very close to my heart. Anyone who talks about this matter again, regardless of his official position, is a person with ulterior motives and will be executed without mercy." Then he shouted loudly: "Retire from the court! " All the ministers knelt on the ground to send off the increasingly powerful prince. Li Liang was about to leave and go back to make arrangements for his departure, so he asked Lord Changping: "The prince wants to see you." (To be continued)
